EL PETIT BONHOMME

APPELLATION

GRAPE VARIETALS

This Petit is made with the same zeal that we produce all our wines, which is to create approachable wines of quality that over-deliver for the price. The yield, which is easy to control in Jumilla due to the lack of water, is paramount in the result. The same goes for our common-sense vinification which extracts naturally without any contact with oxygen during the remontage (pump-over process) keeping the purity of the fruit intact. This best case scenario is helped with the ingrained knowledge of the winemaking generations of Bodegas Juan Gil where the vinification of El Petit Bonhomme is adapted to the behaviour of our grape varietals, in all its due ageing respect.

Les Vins Bonhomme makes wines from across Spain with a fabulous team of winemakers and small family owners.Read more
